Belgrade Tower (Serbian: Кула Београд, romanizedKula Beograd), officially known as Kula Belgrade, is a 40-floor, 168-meter (551 ft) tall mixed-use skyscraper currently under construction in the Belgrade Waterfront project in Belgrade, Serbia.[1]

Upon completion in 2022, it will be the tallest building in Belgrade and Serbia, and has been promoted as "the beacon of the entire master-planned community."[2][3]

Overview[]

Situated in a prime location at the bank of the Sava River, the Belgrade Tower will offer a waterfront lifestyle. Intended as a "new symbol of the Serbian capital," the developers aimed to integrate Belgrade's traditional architecture in a modern development. The tower will have a direct approach to a waterfront promenade, located in close proximity to Belgrade Fortress. It will be connected with the old city through a public plaza.[4]

The architects were inspired by the nearby river when planning the exterior appearance. Aside from the Avala telecommunications tower, this will be the tallest structure in Belgrade, including a 190-room St. Regis hotel occupying the first nine floors, and 220 luxury St. Regis-branded and serviced apartments on floors 14 through 39.[5] Guests of the St. Regis Belgrade and residents of the apartments will have access to a swimming pool, gym, a relaxation lounge and an observation deck at the top of the tower.[6]
